3rd person POV
Ginger Root - Le Château
A year and a half has past and a lot has happened : Hirõ and Bethany are now engineering school gradutes, Bethany can master her water powers and the space shuttle is finally ready to send Azriella back home. The trio had so many good memories together; they never thought that they could have made it this far but they were proud of eachother that they did.
[...]
Hiro and Azriella were working at the coffee shop, it was somewhere near 5 p.m. which was when their shift normally ends. As they were preparing to close the shop, Hirõ remembered that his friend Dave (Hirõ's old classmate) gave him a flyer about a party that'll occur that night. He then reached down to his back pocket to find a rainbow/vaporwave aesthetic-like flyer he got the other day:
<<✨PRIDE MONTH PARTY✨

- "Oh yeah I forgot that it's pride month, Hirõ thought, no wonder why I saw so many pride flags last week..."
On the way home, Hirõ showed the flyer to Azzy.
-"Hm...Isn't June 15th tomorrow?" she asked
-"I think so. Apparently, David wants me to go there..." Hirõ sighed {editor's note: he isn't that much of a Party Person™}
Azzy then asked who "Dave" is. Hirõ said that Dave was an old college friend who came out to him as gay a few years back.
-"Oh...how did you feel, then?" Azzy asked
-"About the invite?" Hirõ questioned
-"No, when he came out to you."
A long moment of silence came in.
The "how did you/they feel when they/you came out?" question is very hard to answer sometimes. The answer is either "They were surprisingly supportive" or... Nothing. Which could mean that their reaction was too emotionally damaging to explain. Just remembering that moment that had a lot of arguments, cries and pain feels like your heart is pulled down to your stomach.
-"I felt...happy for him, Hirõ answered calmly. I mean, he figured out who he was and had the courage to be proud of it..."
Azriella started to listen with a lot of admiration
Hirõ continued: "Dave came out to his parents before me. He said that his parents' reactions were completely different from one another: his mother accepted him with all her heart immediately. His father, on the other hand, found it quite hard to understand but he managed to be the proud father of his gay son through time."
Azriella couldn't help but smile widely at the answer. Hirõ was confused at her reaction.
-"What's with that grin of yours?"
